If so, you could send a few my way if you want to get rid of them.

Planted tank, don't mind the snails but they're getting a bit much,

Yep, that looks like them (they certainly turn my gravel over).

I'm assuming you're in the UK?

I'll fish a dozen or so out and pop them in a bag with a bit of
water/gravel.

You can get hold of me at
(remove the obvious) to send a snailmail address to.

I'll probably send them out sunday night as long as I remember, but
I'll let you know once they've gone.

Just don't tell me you want me to take them back They WILL multiply
and you WILL have hundreds if not thousands of them :-)

hmmm.
I had three.
a few weeks ago I could only find one (and this was during a full
remove-gravel-and-rinse-it-in-tankwater episode); I've even tried to
surprise them at night, but all that happens is that I upset my fish.
